Premier League Preview: How Liverpool Will Line Up Against Crystal Palace

Liverpool's Premier League title hopes received a major blow after their loss to Chelsea last Sunday. Following Manchester City's result against Everton yesterday, the Reds need to be at their best against Crystal Palace on Monday to get the result they need to keep their title challenge alive.

The reverse fixture at Anfield ended in a 3-1 win to Brendan Rodgers' men, with Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard getting the goals for the Reds and Dwight Gayle bagging the Eagles' consolation.

With the news that Sturridge may be fit to return to the starting XI against Palace, per ESPNFC, here is our predicted Liverpool line-up, in their standard attacking 4-3-3 formation, for their visit to Selhurst Park.

When Jordan Henderson received his marching orders in the pivotal match against Manchester City a few weeks back, Liverpool knew they would be deprived of one of their most important players for the crucial title run-in.

In his place, Lucas has been far from inspirational, and another abject performance last week led to his substitution for Daniel Sturridge in an ultimately failed bid to wrestle the match back from Chelsea.

Right Forward: Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling has been one of Liverpool's most important players since returning to Rodgers' first team, and he has provided the difference when his team has needed it most.

Another strong all-round display would be crucial to Liverpool's title hopes, and would do his chances of earning a starting place in Roy Hodgson's England line-up in Brazil this summer no harm at all.

Left Forward: Luis Suarez

With 30 goals for the season, Luis Suarez needs just one more to equal the Premier League record for most goals scored in a 38-game season.

That will not be on his mind as Suarez looks to help Liverpool win a coveted league title, but if he manages to score a couple of important winners that will do just fine for all associated with the Reds.
